What Is Compel Training? 1/9/2015 12:36:27 PM by: Suzie Eller

Nearly 15 years ago, I attended my first writing conference. I learned a great deal, but once I arrived home I wasn’t sure how to take the next step.

You don’t have to feel that way.

Whether you're writing a book, a blog or an article, Compel Training (compeltraining.com) is Christ-centered inspiration and practical teaching.

This program was created by Lysa Terkeurst, a multiple NY Times bestselling author and founder of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Compel offers 4 new trainings per month and unlimited access to the archive of past trainings.

One training is over the marketing/business aspect of writing. For example, in one session Lysa takes Compel writers into the boardroom of Thomas Nelson Publishers for a conversation with their lead acquisitions editor. In this teaching, Compel writers discover decision-making process and tips on what makes a proposal stand out.

Compel also has a writing coach, Lisa Allen. One teaching might be how to create sacred space in your calendar to write.

Then there’s the craft side of writing. Glynnis Whitwer is an author and editor of Encouragement for Today, the P31 devotion that reaches nearly a million readers daily. Her lessons have included tips on how to self-edit or how to write a devotion.

In addition to our staff, Compel regularly hosts conversations and trainings with bloggers who have reached millions to best-selling authors to industry professionals.

Compel Training offers an active forum Community. In the forum, we take lessons deeper. We offer a Tuesday Tip with a weekly challenge. Writers celebrate as a community on Confetti Friday. In the forum, writers have the ability to talk about every question possible, no matter what level the writer is currently at in publishing.

And the best news? It’s affordable. Compel writers have access to all of this for only $25 a month. And every cent of profit goes back into reaching women for Christ. This was Lysa’s dream. Nurture and train writers for the cause of Christ, and then reach even more women across the world with Good News.

I hope I have a chance to meet you in Florida! I’ll be at the Compel table and can answer your questions. I can even register you on the spot.

I can’t want to see you there.
